iMac and iPhone Design Language consistency

Apple has been good in designing their products with utmost care and details. I noticed from the video of the iPhone 3GS and comparing it with the advertisement of iMac G5 years ago, the consistency of design language and elements across their product lines are always present. You just need to look at it closely.

When Apple released the iMac G5, it was really based on the design language of iPod with a dock. The colors are all white. Even the angle of the screen and the ipod dock is the same.




And they did it again with their iPhone 3G or iPhone 3GS, it was really based on their current iMac design elements like the glossy LCD and black rear cover. Thanks on this video angle, I was able to connect such consistency of their industrial design.
